The floor-standing Majestic Achilles Extra Large Bar Globe on Casters is a stunning antique reproduction piece of furniture and as true a replica as a twenty-first-century work of sixteenth-century globe furniture art can be. It is made by Zoffoli, the world-renowned Italian manufacturer that has been crafting antique-style globes for over 60 years.

The finely detailed 16th-century map depicted on the extra large bar globe cabinet is an accurate reproduction made by master Italian cartographers in the traditional manner using layers of printed paper gores. It opens at the hinges on the equator, which is surrounded by a finely detailed rim and boasts a calibrated full meridian which encompasses the large globe entirely and emphasizes its aura of antiquity. The globe sphere fully rotates around its meridian either when it is opened or closed.

The charmingly illustrated inner dome of the globe drinks cabinet serves as the ceiling for the spacious drinks cabinet within, which can hold approximately 6 bottles and 16 pieces of stemware.

This exquisite work of antique globe furniture art makes an extraordinary centerpiece in any large, traditional room and can easily be moved because the superbly turned chestnut-shade solid hardwood floor stand is equipped with casters.

The manufacturer Zoffoli named this floor-standing drinks cabinet Achille, which is, of course, Achilles in English. In Greek mythology, Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer’s Iliad. Achilles’ most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan hero Hector outside the gates of Troy.
